Porkpiehat,
I think it's a good sign that you seemed to feel better this morning, especially relative to last night. I hope that as the day goes on, you'll find yourself doing better today as compared with yesterday. However, if you do run into the same kinds of problems today than you went through yesterday, I would ever-so strongly urge you to contact your pdoc or another professional, or to call either a suicide hotline or an emergency number. Even though spending a few days in a psych ward surely doesn't sound the kind of thing that you or any of us would so much like to do, your life may very well depend on reaching out for professional assistance if you find yourself once again experiencing the kinds of feelings and impulses that you were experiencing yesterday.
Regarding your medication situation, I think that this also needs to be handled by a medical professional. I'd start by contacting your pdoc and asking if you should still continue to follow the same course that you've been following medication wise, given the intense feelings of rage that you were experiencing Friday and yesterday, along with both the actions that you took last night and the improvement that you were noticing as of this morning. Then, if you don't feel comfortable with your pdoc's instructions, I'd encourage you to consider seeking another medical opinion. Although I don't think it would be advisable to refrain from following your pdoc's instructions without further medical guidance, I think it would be a good idea to see if another medical professional might be able to offer you a different perspective if what your pdoc instructs you to do doesn't seem right.
So again, I hope that you're still doing as well right now as you were this morning. I think that getting through the rest of the today (including tonight) and the next few days is something that you can and will be able to accomplish, but please, do not hesitate to reach out for help from a qualified professional if the feelings and impulses that you were experiencing yesterday start to return and/or if you have any questions about how to proceed with your medication situation. My thoughts will be with you as you continue to try to break out of the dark place that you've been in for the last couple of days.
